I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 243
(Tsunami (10))
Producer Song Man-woo? Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at Han Ye-jeong’s cell phone, raised his head. Pigtail Choi Seong-geon stabs his cell phone.
“Well, you haven’t received any special contact, have you?”
“Yes, no.”
“Hmm – I didn’t have a meeting with PD Song during this Korean schedule.”
Choi Seong-gun muttered and put the cell phone to his ear.
“Hello – PD. “I was just about to call you.”
Producer Song Man-woo’s reply over the cell phone to Choi Seo-gun’s polite comment was a bit serious.
“Hello, Choi Dae-pyo. “I heard you came to Korea today.”
“Yes, PD. “I’m in Seoul now.”
“Is it possible to have a brief meeting with Mr. Woojin during this Korean schedule? “I really want to see it before I go to Japan again.”
Then, Choi Seong-gun turned and made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin.
“S-of course it’s possible. It looks like today will be difficult… Just a moment, PD. “I will check the schedule right away.”
“Yes, CEO.”
Choi Seong-gun, who put down his cell phone to block outside sounds, asked Woojin.
“Producer Song said he would see you, but he seems a bit in a hurry? But my schedule is a bit tight these few days, right? “You must be a little tired today after digesting ‘leeches’.”
Kang Woo-jin shakes his head innocently.
“It doesn’t matter today either.”
“Well, it doesn’t look too difficult, but there’s nothing to overdo.”
“no. it’s okay.”
In reality, Woojin was a little tired, but it wasn’t enough to make him tired. If you’re really tired, you can take a rest in the sub-space. Anyway, it seems like Choi Seong-gun understands.
“Okay, but today is a bit different. “I’ll ask if it’s okay tomorrow morning.”
“yes.”
I put the cell phone to my ear again.
“Producer, are you okay tomorrow morning?”
Producer Song Man-woo’s response was quick.
“Of course it’s okay. “If you tell me the time, I’ll go to BW Enter.”
“Uh-huh, would you like that? All right. “I’ll get back to you.”
“Yes, CEO.”
The call was cut off like that.
Seonggeon Choi muttered with a puzzled look on his face.
“He’s coming in person. “I would like to see it before the schedule starts tomorrow.”
Kang Woo-jin nodded slowly. He then showed Han Ye-jeong’s cell phone and explained it to Seong-geon Choi. What is the content of this SNS post, who is the famous Japanese voice actor who posted it, etc. Because Choi Seong-geon was with me at the time, I understood quickly.
“ah! “Who did you say was that child’s mother??”
Soon, leader Choi Seong-gun’s brain began to spin quickly.
“Hey, is he a famous Japanese voice actor? I didn’t know that. By the way, Japanese Woojin is already noisy when you play the piano, right? There was a lot of noise. But this person really gave me a twist, right?”
“Is that so?”
“Uh oh. Honestly, there were a lot of customers in that restaurant, so I expected it to spread to some extent… but if this happens, the situation will change drastically. It goes from just a buzzy issue to a touching story that tugs at your heartstrings. Plus, the person involved is a famous voice actor. I like the story too. “You must have meant it, but this kind of thing works well in the stuffy entertainment industry.”
Well, Kang Woo-jin also knew roughly. Because I often see famous celebrities becoming a hot topic with some kind of beautiful story. Of course, Choi Seong-geon was faster than Woo-jin.
“Something-isn’t that unusual? This story goes beyond being a funny story and is almost at the level of a heroic story. Woojin, you are learning from another country. “There are a lot of keywords that stimulate the emotions of the Japanese public. This is true in Korea as well, but Japan is especially crazy about stories like this.”
However, since Kang Woo-jin is currently in Korea, not Japan, the situation in Japan was not clear. However, Choi Seong-geon was not one to sit still and leave his hands alone.
“First of all… I need to run the radar first. What is the current level? “I need to get our marketing team to monitor it first.”
Choi Seong-gun called the company and showed Kang Woo-jin his thumb.
“If you do this well, you might be treated like a real hero when you return to Japan.”
backwards.
After the ‘Leech’ audition, which was the first schedule of his return to Korea, Kang Woo-jin moved to the second schedule, an interview with a large media company. Originally, Choi Seong-geon tends to exclude interviews with media outlets whenever possible, but if he hides it too much, there are times when there is a backlash.
This was especially true for ‘issue kings’ like Kang Woo-jin.
Rumors and abusive articles are rampant all the time, and gossip abounds. Therefore, it was necessary to have the blood pierced once in a while like this.
Above all, some of Kang Woo-jin’s issues are still hot right now.
‘Our Table’, which recorded a viewer rating of close to 20%, spread the news of Producer Man-Woo Song and Woo-Jin Kang’s cross, ‘Beneficial Evil’, ‘Island of the Missing’, which declared a crank-up, ‘The Stranger’ on the Japanese side, related to Woo-Jin Kang’s piano, which suddenly exploded, and the rat bird. A thief entered the country without realizing it.
There are more than dozens of pieces of rice cake alone.
At this point, I needed to get things sorted out.
Four days passed like that. The following Friday the 5th.
Director Gabok Ang and the ‘Leech’ team, who had organized the auditions early in the morning, gathered in the film studio’s conference room. The number of people is roughly five or six. Among them, director Ga-bok Ang sat at the head of the ㅁ-shaped desk.
The atmosphere was somewhat serious.
It was worth it. Because I saw something huge and unexpected at the audition. However, the ‘Leech’ team was running out of time to think about anything else. Moreover, looking at Director Gabok Ang’s firm expression, it seemed like he was ready to make a decision today.
Soon the CEO of the film company sitting next to Director Anga Bok asked.
“Director, are you okay? “The audition hurdle has risen somewhat unexpectedly.”
Director Ang Bok, with short white hair, laughed.
“yes. “I’m just sorry.”
“yes?”
“I let Woojin take on that role. As the director, I should have done that. “I was in a hurry so I didn’t even think about it.”
“……Kang Woo-jin may seem blunt on the outside, but he seems to have been thinking deeply about ‘leeches.’”
Director Ahn Ga-bok, who was recalling Kang Woo-jin’s face, slowly nodded.
“It’s wide inside. He doesn’t show it, but he has a lot of affection for his work. What do they say these days? Tsundere?”
“Ah-yes, that’s right.”
“That young fellow is acting so boldly, so we should speed up too.”
The faces of the key staff of ‘Leech’, including the head of the film company, had spirit on their faces. At the same time, a pot-bellied cinematographer joined in.
“But senior Shim Shim-ho…is it okay if I don’t contact you? “You didn’t look very good when you left the small theater yesterday.”
“If my friend would break down to that level, he wouldn’t have been able to carry the weight of a Korean actor.”
Director Gabok Ang gave a short answer and unfolded the stack of paper in front of him. This was the evaluation list filled out by director Gabok Ang, profiles of the actors who participated in yesterday’s audition.
The motion was to make a decision now.
“First, starting from ‘Yoon Ja-ho’ station.”
There is an in-depth conversation about the role of ‘Yoon Ja-ho’, which several people other than Jin Jae-jun were eager to play.
“How do you guys see it?”
“Jaejun’s acting tension has increased a lot.”
“Compared to last year, it’s unrecognizable. I think I’ve leveled up from being a ‘drug dealer.’ “It was a different work than before.”
Director Gabok Ang laughed.
“‘Drug dealer’ – there’s Woojin there too, right?”
“ah.”
“A first-year actor is influencing top players here and there. Anyway, I felt a little disappointed about Jin Jae-jun. That guy does better. “The audition felt a bit light.”
“Maybe it was a bit like that because Kang Woo-jin was in front of me?”
“Maybe so. But that doesn’t mean other actors did as well as Jin Jae-jun.”
“Sure…”
The meeting gradually became boring.
“I worry the most about the role of ‘Yoon Ji-min’.”
“Hmm-”
“Hong Hye-yeon caught my eye the most.”
“I felt like a lot of my shortcomings had been made up for.”
“Hwarin, wasn’t the tension as good as you thought? “I was surprised that they did better than I expected.”
“I am Han So-jin. It was the most natural, unlike a rookie. If you just keep doing that, you will stand out quickly. “It’s still okay, though.”
“Haha, now that you say it like that, it makes me realize that Kang Woo-jin is a ridiculous person.”
“Woojin is out of the question. “You should not group them under the same name value.”
“Because he’s such an absurd weirdo.”
Many words pour out. Surprisingly, opinions were divided. In response, Director Gabok Ang looks down at the evaluation sheet he wrote down while twirling his pen.
About an hour later.
-Sigh.
Director Ga-bok Ang pushed an evaluation sheet listing the names of confirmed actors to the CEO of the film company.
“Go like this. “Inform the actors and announce it externally within today.”
Meanwhile.
Around 9 o’clock in the morning. The location is BW Enter in Samseong-dong. BW Entertainment recently moved to a larger space, but the interior has been very tidied up. When employees were on their way to work, people could already be seen in the largest meeting room. One of them was Kang Woo-jin.
Since I have to stop by the shop before my schedule, I am currently wearing a hat and my favorite navy long padding.
The concept is strong from early in the morning.
Only Choi Seong-geon was around Woo-jin, and the bearded producer Song Man-woo was sitting alone by the window across from them. A pretty solid face. Judging from the atmosphere it gave off, it didn’t seem like it was a small matter.
Producer Song Man-woo, who had already finished talking about the current situation and giving brief greetings, spoke to the calm Woojin.
“Woojin, you may have heard this from time to time, but ‘Beneficial Evil’ is currently looking at Free very carefully. In addition, we were choosing our final destination.”
Final destination? Ah – are you talking about a broadcasting station or something? Actually, if you think about it, Woojin didn’t know where ‘Beneficial Evil’ would be aired.
“Is that so?”
“Well, unlike before, I am not an affiliated director but an external producer. Destination has also become very important. So, while Woojin was in Japan, we had meetings with many places recently. From public broadcasting cable channels to various OTT platforms.”
“……”
“Even before the news of Woojin joining spread, the conditions were significant, but now that Woojin has been thrown at us, everyone is foaming at the mouth and attacking us.”
Choi Seong-geon joined in.
“Isn’t that what you were aiming for?”
“that’s right. “It was clearly intentional.”
“Producer Song Man-woo, including Hanryang, is worthy of his name, but writer Choi Nana, who really hit the mark with ‘male friend’ this time. Plus our Woojin. “It’s okay even if I can’t eat this.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who was smiling slightly, made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin again.
“That’s why the conditions have been upgraded. Still, it’s not particularly high or anything like that. Therefore, there was a high possibility that ‘beneficial evil’ would go to the SBC. “I had a lot of fun, and it’s my hometown.”
“I understand.”
“But then Netflix contacted me.”
After finishing speaking, producer Song Man-woo pushed the transparent file he had brought to Woo-jin.
“The conditions there are similar, but the only difference is that they bring out the ‘challenge’.”
“challenge.”
“Do you feel like we’re going to launch ‘Beneficial Evil’ around the world as a Netflix original?”
omg. Worldwide? Suddenly, the size of the story changes globally. Woojin was a little embarrassed, but answered as if it was no big deal.
“Do you mean launching worldwide?”
“is it so. In other words, let’s challenge the global world with ‘beneficial evil’. “It may be open domestically, but it’s truly worldwide.”
“……”
“Honestly, I was intrigued. I’ve been feeling a bit stagnant lately. Plus, it seems like ‘Beneficial Evil’ will work well overseas. There is a lot to say, but first of all, the opinion of Woojin, the main male lead, is also important.”
Instead of Kang Woo-jin, Choi Seong-geon spoke first.
“Worldwide launch – it sounds sweet, but isn’t there definitely a risk?”
“that’s right. To put it bluntly, if you throw ‘beneficial evil’ at a domestic broadcaster, a certain degree of success is guaranteed. First of all, Woojin’s ticket power is enormous. “You just eat half and go in.”
“On the other hand, overseas, there are no such advantages at all.”
“If it explodes, an absurd situation will unfold, but if it is insufficient, the damage will be more than double.”
The production cost of ‘Beneficial Evil’ was by no means small. It’s closer to tens of billions rather than billions. In short, if it fails, many people will fail. Of course, the stigma that Kang Woo-jin was not popular overseas was an added bonus.
“Hmm-”
That was Choi Seong-geon’s concern, and producer Song Man-woo didn’t know either.
“Because there is a risk, I have no intention of going ahead with it if Mr. Woojin’s thoughts are different.”
Woojin, with an indifferent face, asked back.
“Who is the writer Nana Choi?”
“The author is of the opinion that anywhere is fine. In fact, it’s better to focus on writing rather than those things right now.”
“……”
“I plan to follow Woojin’s thoughts. After all, Woojin is the one who will lead ‘beneficial evil’ by the collar. For reference, if you choose Netflix, it will also be converted to pre-production, and Netflix personnel may be involved in production.”
My shoulders are heavy. What should I do? Should I briefly summarize it first?
“I don’t know much about various interests. “It’s better to just have a good meaning.”
“…The one with good meaning. “What do you think of Woojin’s astuteness?”
“Not really. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”
“hmm. So, are Woojin ready to go global?”
Kang Woo-jin answered simply.
“Don’t be late.”
“Haha, I see.”
Producer Song Man-woo, who has a beard, quickly got up and held out his hand to Woojin.
“Let’s overthrow the whole world with some ‘beneficial evil’. Let’s live up to Woojin’s ambition and run to the death.”
Woojin calmly held his hand.
‘Global again. For some reason, when I stay still, doesn’t the size around me get so scary??’
To be honest, I haven’t really felt it yet.
An hour later, Kang Woo-jin’s van.
Producer Song Man-woo, who organized the meeting, left immediately, saying he would move on to Netflix Korea. As a result, the destination of ‘beneficial evil’ became clear. Soon, news of the title ‘Beneficial Evil’ and its collaboration with Netflix will spread.
However, there is no need for Woojin to take any action right now.
‘If you don’t know, it will take care of itself.’
Even thinking about it just makes my head hurt. Acting The conclusion is that you just have to act no matter what the situation is. Around this time, the van carrying Kang Woo-jin moved to go to the shop in Cheongdam-dong.
at the same time.
-Hook.
Kang Woo-jin suddenly entered subspace. I had a tight schedule today and had a meeting early in the morning, so I wanted to take a break. Woojin must have been tired, but as soon as he entered the dark subspace, he yawned.
I solved the concept in one go.
“What did you have on your schedule today?”
Remembering Choi Seong-geon’s briefing, Woojin habitually moved in front of the white square. I didn’t have any big thoughts. I was planning to just glance at the white squares and lie down right away.
however.
“Eh?”
Woojin’s body stopped. The reason was simple.
“Hasn’t something changed a lot?”
Because there was a noticeable change in the white squares. It started with ‘Island of the Missing’ and ‘Familiar Parasite’ which were S+ grade.
-[3/Scenario (Title: Island of Disappearance) SS grade]
-[7/Scenario (Title: Strange Sacrifice of a Stranger) SS grade]
Both works are rated SS grade. In other words, it went up one level. Even this wasn’t the end.
“Why did this suddenly go up?”
The grade of the movie ‘Leech’, which was originally SS grade, also changed.
-[8/Scenario (Title: Leech) SSS level]
Upgraded to SSS level. It was the first grade that came out. But why? Why did the rating of ‘leech’ suddenly rise? He had to think about it, but Kang Woo-jin had no time to think about it.
The reason was simple.
-Sigh.
Because his eyes have already reached the work below ‘Leech’. It was ‘Beneficial Evil’, which was at the same SS level as ‘Leech’, which just recently changed its destination to Netflix. However, the level was different.
-[9/Script (Title: Beneficial Evil) SSS+ grade]
‘Beneficial Evil’ was SSS+ grade.
